This person who didn’t exist... somehow divided history. We call this year 2018 A.D. for what reason? As were the last 2017 years prior.

Quite the accomplishment for a non-person.

Many are calling this year 2018 C.E. for another reason.

Where is the proof of the existence of Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, etc.?

He was born in humble surroundings, never owned property, carried few possessions and left an empty tomb. But His lessons have survived for two thousand years and His perfect life has rarely been questioned. Critics attack only the believers because they can’t argue with His words. Must drive them nuts.

"Many have asked why evangelicals would support a man whose life is far from an example of Christian ideals."

The same reason that 4th century Christians supported Roman emperor Constantine despite the fact his life was "far from an example Christian ideals."

Why did they tweet the debunked hit piece on Christ?

Easy.

They don't believe in God and ridicule anyone who does.

I’ve long thought that Jesus’ recorded interactions with women would have been antithetical to a society rooted in patriarchy. That, and that a woman was the first witness to the resurrection and, naturally not at first believed even by the apostles.

Then there are other features within the Gospels, which, when taken together form a reasonably consistent picture of the life of a real individual.

And I’m a Torah believer, so I don’t have an axe to grind in this respect.

It’s a strange article... [it] goes on to paint Trump supporters from Linden, Tennessee, as paranoid, Bible-clutching rubes...

But they never quite get to painting mooselimbs as paranoid and bitterly clinging to their koran...

They believe in God. They just play for the other team. Their fall is coming and it will be epic.

Oh, I can’t say for sure, but it probably has something to do with the left’s hatred of practicing Christians. Particularly white, Christian males. We’re all so inherently evil, don’t you know. Meanwhile, male Muzzies are so cute and cuddly.

Yes ... and the fact that the gospels have discrepancies indicate that they are likely real accounts as observed by different individuals.

Did this article run before or after WaPooP editor John Podesta went on vacation?

“the fringe of the fringe,”

There are many of these “fringe of the fringe,” on Facebook. Every time there is a mention of a 10 commandments stone or even anything about Jesus they always show up like a bad penny yelling this same drivel.
Most are just teen trolls hiding in their mom’s basement.

Good point! (I just read today where Chelsea Clinton sent New Year greetings to the Church of Satan...wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t satire)

Yeah, like a porcupine is cuddly. They are cool looking though.
